BUCHAREST, Jan 19

Roman Abramovich will get the chance to land the player he craves most for Chelsea after Ronaldinho indicated he wants to quit Barcelona, British paper Sunday Mirror reported.

The Blues might have to smash the world record and the ?50m barrier to capture the 26-year-old.

But there will be a money-no-object mission to bring the Brazilian to Stamford Bridge for next season.

The Samba star has told close pals he has developed itchy feet after nearly four seasons in Catalonia.

"Ronaldinho doesn''t feel he is properly backed at Barcelona any more," said a close source.

oh. yes.

even if there is a glimmer of truth in this, my god, RONALDINHO IN BLUE

i may sound like a 14 year old girl, but *SCREEEEEEAAAAMMMMMMMM*

Ronaldinho's agent: "My client doesn't feel he is properly backed by Barcelona any more. ?250k/week paycheck might just be enough for him to feel loved again. Maybe Chelsea will pay that if...what? My client gets a new improved contract next week? Excellent!"

?250000/week

Jealous of Beckham perhaps?

"?250k/week paycheck might just be enough for him to feel loved again"

What kind of women does he get his love from?

[Maksimov]

The type of women that are made of money!

Surely the most gifted player actively playing football at the moment deserves at least ?250k per week.

that's gotta be gossip

[MannyJello]

when he moved from PSG a few years ago, didn't it come down to a choice for him between Barca and ManU? i thought i remember him or his agent (who happens to be his brother, if i recall) stating that they didn't think Chelsea were a viable option because our team wasn't "sporting" or some such sh*te. something about our team being new money, and not an old, established club. i'm sure a few trophies might start altering that perception.

still -- good god, could you imagine? let's offer Barca 50 mil plus Ballack.

[Jimboola69]

Utter utter nonsense.

The ultimate signing would be Kaka!!!

Sheva would be keen too!

No, let's give them 30 mil and Ballack for Ronaldinho and then we give them 20 mil and Ashley for Zambrotta.

Then we start playing like this:

Cech

Zambrotta - JT - Riccy - Bridge

Essien - Makelele - Lampard

Robben - Drogba - Kalou (until Joe is back)

If you're talking about Ronaldinho - blind ones!

If you're talking about Ronaldinho - blind ones!

As Mrs Merton once said to Debbie McGhee

'So Debbie, what was it that first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?'

Sorry, Loz - I wouldn't do it for Abramovich money!

Had a quick scout around and can't find the footage of the Merton interview with Daniels/McGhee

However in the process I did come across the classic interview with Eubank - a little something to try and cheer folk up after today's performance!

Essien - Makelele - Lampard
